If there is one thing that brings me life, it’s seeing a plan come through. I love strategy, I love planning, but I hate implementing. Give me a whiteboard, some loud music and a cup-of-coffee and I can change the world…in my own mind at least. So far I have two great joys pioneering HELP. One [...]

I woke-up earlier then normal this morning, well…I woke-up at 4:30AM which stinks. The first thing I did was check my email. *sigh* I’m beyond A.D.D. and I really struggle with trying to focus on one thing, multitasking is natural.

I spent some time praying and reading scripture this morning. I’m reading Samuel and the story of Saul. It started so well, but we all know the ending is tragic. I love how the “Spirit”  descended on Saul and he was transformed. The OT characters had the audacity to live brave lives and risk it all…I think there is [...]

I’m studying movements and I was trying to  process why it seems so hard to see legitimate movements in America.

You can find a review of the intro here and chapter one here.  Some thoughts from chapter two:  The focus on chapter two is the need to ReJesus the individual as disciples of Jesus.
